A Little Nighttime Magic—Planetary Alignment Edition

Weather App Rendition

Maybe I’m just a geek (okay, definitely), but I just spent a few minutes lying in my yard, staring up at the sky like a kid seeing fireflies for the first time. And y’all—it was different tonight. Not just stars twinkling, but something a little more brilliant, almost as if they were casting light instead of just reflecting it.

Why? Because a planetary alignment just happened! Now, before anyone asks—did I personally identify every single planet up there with my expert astronomy skills? Absolutely not. But I do know that some of them were visible even without a telescope, and what I saw wasn’t just the usual night sky.

Some of the planets in this lineup were playing hard to get, only visible with a telescope (or not even that, depending on conditions). But the ones you could see? Stunning. So if your sky is clear, go outside for a minute and look up. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll catch a little cosmic magic too.
